At its June 13–14, 2013, meeting, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing adopted
revised Subject Matter Requirements (SMRs) for CSET: Multiple Subjects, English,
and Mathematics to ensure alignment with the California Common Core State Standards.
More information can be found in the Commission Meeting Agenda for June 13–14, 2013.

June 13 Update: Administrations of the updated CSET: Multiple Subjects and English examinations will begin on August 11, 2014. The updated CSET: Mathematics examination will be implemented at a later date; in the meanwhile, the current Mathematics examination will continue to be administered. More information will be posted here as it becomes available.

If you have previously passed one or more subtests of the CSET: Multiple Subjects and/or the CSET: English examinations prior to August 11, 2014, your scores will remain valid and you will not have to retake those subtests. Please note that CSET scores must be used toward a California credential within five years of the test date.

August 25 Update: Administrations of the updated CSET: Mathematics examination will begin on December 29, 2014.

If you have previously passed one or more subtests of the CSET: Mathematics examination prior to December 29, 2014, your scores will remain valid and you will not have to retake those subtests. Please note that CSET scores must be used toward a California credential within five years of the test date.

The NES® Assessments for California

The NES (National Evaluation Series) tests are now used by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing to fulfill the testing requirements for the Early Completion Internship Option (ECO).

The Commission on Teacher Credentialing adopted revised Subject Matter Requirements (SMRs) for the CSET: Multiple Subjects Subtest II and the CSET: Single Subject Science subtests to ensure alignment with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The adoption of the revised SMRs necessitated changes to the structure and content of these subtests.

Starting Monday, August 7, 2017, redeveloped versions of the CSET: Multiple Subjects Subtest II and CSET Science subtests will be in place for candidates seeking a California Preliminary Multiple Subject Credential or a Single Subject Science Credential.

Registration and additional information pertaining to these redeveloped subtests, including test information and preparation materials, is now available on this website.

The Commission is scheduled to set the passing standards for these subtests at its October 26–27, 2017 meeting. If the passing standards are set at that meeting, test results will be released within three weeks of the meeting.

Single Subject Science Examination Requirement Changes

General Science Candidates

Examinees who have passed both the current CSET: Science Subtest I (118) and the current CSET: Science Subtest II (119) do not need to take the redeveloped CSET: Science Subtest I: General Science (215).

Examinees who have passed one of either the current CSET: Science Subtest I (118) or the current CSET: Science Subtest II (119) but who have not passed both by August 6, 2017, will need to take the redeveloped CSET: Science Subtest I: General Science (215) beginning on August 7, 2017.

Examinees who passed both the current CSET: Science Subtest I (118) and the current CSET: Science Subtest II (119) but who have not passed the appropriate current CSET: Science Subtest III (120, 121, 122, or 123) by August 6, 2017, will need to take the redeveloped CSET: Science Subtest II as appropriate for their content specialty (217, 218, 219, or 220) beginning on August 7, 2017.

For further information about earning a Multiple Subject or a Single Subject Science Credential, candidates may contact the Commission's Certification Unit at credentials@ctc.ca.gov.

Important Notice

At its August 14–15, 2014, meeting, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) took action to align the science content area authorization structure with the California Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). As a result of this action, the option to earn a specialized science content area on a Single Subject Teaching Credential will be discontinued as of August 1, 2020, and the last administration of a CSET: Science (Specialized) is July 11, 2015.

As test results are valid for five years, the authorizations for specialized science content areas will continue to be issued through August 1, 2020, for individuals who verify subject matter equivalency on or before July 11, 2015.

July 29 Update:Test results for the July 11, 2015, administration of CSET: Science (Specialized) will be released on August 10. Preparation materials for this discontinued examination will be available on the CTC Examinations website until October 30, 2015.

CSET: Science (Specialized) Update

Test results for the July 11, 2015, administration of CSET: Science (Specialized) will be released on August 10. Preparation materials for this discontinued examination will be available on the CTC Examinations website until October 12, 2015.

Important Notice

The February 2015 administration of the California Preliminary Administrative Credential Examination (CPACE) was the final administration of the current CPACE. This applies to both the CPACE–Written and the CPACE–Video. CPACE scores for examinees who pass both the CPACE–Written and the CPACE–Video are valid for use toward a California Preliminary Administrative Credential for five years from the date of administration.

If you have a registration for the current version of the CPACE that has not expired, your registration will be automatically withdrawn and you will receive a refund of your testing fees. You must re-register and schedule to take the new CPACE when registration is available.

Starting July 2015, the new CPACE will be in place for candidates seeking a California Preliminary Administrative Services Credential. Additional information about the new examination, including registration information and preparation materials, will be available on this site in early May 2015. For further information about earning the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential, candidates may contact the Commission's Credentials Unit at credentials@ctc.ca.gov.
